Orlando Pirates midfielder Ben Motshwari has hailed Thembinkosi Lorch’s influence in Saturday’s 2-1 MTN8 victory over Bloemfontein Celtic at Moses Mabhida Stadium, but quickly reminded his teammates to turn their attention to the Premier Soccer League campaign.
After Siphelele Luthuli's early opener for Celtic, Pirates hit back via Deon Hotto just after the half-hour mark, before substitute Lorch converted from the penalty spot for the Pirates winner eight minutes into the second half.
Lorch was a surprise inclusion on the bench after the club had given an impression that he still had more time on the sidelines following medical procedure on his knee.
